COLONIAL ATTITUDES IN ISRAEL

Camp David's thwarted peace *

by ALAIN GRESH

     President Bush has urged the Palestinians to replace
     Yasser Arafat as a condition of US support for their
     statehood. This call underscores the failure of the Oslo
     accords. As Israel tightens its hold on the West Bank and
     Gaza, peace has never seemed more distant. Yet two years
     ago Israelis and Palestinians seemed close to agreement:
     the Camp David summit in July 2000 could have been
     considered as one further step in the long negotiations
     between the Israelis and Palestinians. Instead it was
     dismissed as a total failure, with Arafat responsible for
     that failure.

US BALANCES ASIAN NUCLEAR RIVALS

India's unethical foreign policy *

by KURT JACOBSEN and SAYEED HASAN KHAN

     The Bush administration sent senior officials to India
     and Pakistan recently to reduce tensions between the
     nuclear rivals. Pakistan's government announced that it
     would end commando operations by Kashmiri militants and
     India seemed to move towards military de-escalation. But
     how can the United States accede to India's demands for a
     strategic relationship while keeping Pakistan as an ally?

THREATS TO DISARMAMENT AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY

The new world disorder *

by PIERRE CONESA and OLIVIER LEPICK

     United States threats to withdraw from peacekeeping in
     Bosnia if denied exemption from prosecution in the new
     International Criminal Court shows how far international
     security has been dismantled. The US now realises what it
     means to be a superpower and its strategists are
     formulating a doctrine to match, undermining all the
     agreements that governed world security and underpinned
     disarmament in the 1990s.

IMMIGRANT VOICES IN EUROPEAN POLITICS

France's estate of fear *

by RABAH AIT-HAMADOUCHE

     During the presidential election in France, politicians
     pushing law and order picked on people from poor housing
     estates as troublemakers, prompting protest votes and
     abstentions. But Le Pen's brief success galvanised
     immigrant voters and began their new drive for political
     representation.

FORTY YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE, VIOLENCE AND IMPOVERISHMENT

Algeria's wasted achievements *

by MOHAMMED HARBI

     Algeria has been independent for 40 years this month, but
     wracked by a civil war: 700 Algerians have been killed
     this year by Islamists or the army. A privileged elite
     has abused what was gained in the revolution and spent
     Algeria's wealth. The violence continues the griefs of
     French colonisation, the war of independence and the
     seizure of power by military leaders.

50 YEARS SINCE THE JULY REVOLUTION

Egypt's squandered hopes *

by KAMEL LABIDI

     The Middle East and the Maghreb no longer resound to the
     speeches of Nasser as they did when Cairo fascinated the
     Arab world, promising unity and revolution. A
     half-century after the Free Officers seized power in July
     1952, there is bitter debate over Nasser's legacy in an
     Egypt made nostalgic by decline and despair.

THE FUTURE OF A MARGINALISED CONTINENT

Can Africa really unify? *

by MWAYILA TSHIYEMBE

     The Organisation of African Unity finally established the
     African Union in 2001, and, although there had been
     vociferous demands for union ever since the OAU was
     founded in 1963, there was in fact complete indifference
     to the actual setting up of the union. This month the
     union will hold its own first summit, in South Africa.
     Will it prove to be the answer to globalisation, as its
     advocates once hoped?

HEALTH FOR ALL OR RICHES FOR SOME

WHO's responsible?

by JEAN-LOUP MOTCHANE

     Can we still rely on the World Health Organisation? It
     has not openly opposed the greed of the major global
     pharmaceutical companies and its director-general, Gro
     Harlem Brundtland, has deferred to them.

THE POLLUTER PAYS BUT WHO PROFITS?

Clean futures market

by PHILIPPE BOVET and FRANÇOIS PLOYE

     Scientists and researchers are experimenting with the
     atmosphere and climate, intending to profit hugely from
     selling carbon dioxide absorption to polluters in the
     fast-developing futures market. Do they know what they
     are doing, or are their ideas potentially dangerous cons?
